...at their strongest. Surely no one is going to deny that 2 + 2 is 4 in both China and Greece. Surely the square on the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, whether we call this Pythagoras' theorem, or Gou Gu.... | |

...painfully drummed into my head which seems to have inhabited some corner of my brain since that early time: "The square on the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides!" There it sticks, but what of it, ye gods, what of it?... | |

...here, is provided as Chapter 3 of Billig et al. (1988). 6. Pythagoras's theorem is the one that states that the square on the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides - but then you knew that already, of course, without... | |

...discovered, however, the latter are considered no less certain than the former. For example, even if the fact that the square on the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the squares on the other two sides is not as apparent as the fact that the hypotenuse subtends the largest angle, once... | |

...what words like 'square', 'hypotenuse', 'right angle', 'triangle' and 'sum' mean, then the proposition "The square on the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides' is a description of a property of a right-angled triangle.... | |
